Why is she doing that?
Is she crazy?
How could you do this to me?
Juhyun, save me! Save me!

This spot is taken.
What do you mean?
My husband always parks here.
Everyone knows its our spot.
I hadnt heard.
Was there such an agreement?
No, he always parks here.
Hes on his way.
Can you park elsewhere?
You see, my moms not well
Its not your designated spot.
Let me park here just once.
Where are you?
I got a spot. Hurry.
Yes, hurry.
What was that?
Okay, lets park elsewhere.
Well move.
Okay.
Need help, uncle?
No, wait. Ill make dinner.
Mom, wheres the soybean paste?
In the kimchi fridge.
Who are you?
Im an uncle from 203 downstairs.
Doesnt your mom tell you not to run?
Can you turn off the TV for a sec?
The immunotherapy or immune treatment is
a more viable option than drug therapy.
Youngwoo? Whats up?
Hi, the noise from here is too much, you see.
Really? That cant be.
Hes too weak to run.
My mom recently had surgery
and isnt feeling well. Please be careful.
Okay, Well be careful.
Please be careful.
Ive asked you several times.
I tell him, but he doesnt listen.
Boys, you know.
Neighbors should be more understanding.
Here you go.
Your mortgage cancellation request
is complete.
You can check the registration in a week.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
Now its truly your home,
not the banks.
Its just a tiny place
and its in my moms name.
Still, its not easy to pay off a loan
at a young age.
Youve worked hard.
To celebrate,
would you like to have a drink with me?
What?
Its a special day.
My treat...
Ah...
I have to pick up the kid.
Ah...
Hello.
Were offering free MBTI counseling.
Do you have a moment?
Yes.
Thanks.
Please check the relevant items.
Check here?
Yes.
You look worn out.
Honey, did you wait long?
What are you doing?
Lets go, Im hungry.
Sorry, were you startled?
That church is known for being a cult.
They use surveys and counseling
to get your number and approach you.
Be careful.
I see.
If you have time, perhaps we can
Wait a moment.
Hi. At the kindergarten?
She seems okay.
Im going to buy some medicine.
Yeji, let me see your face.
Im good.
Stay still.
Are you okay?
Dunno.
Yeji Choi! I told you that youll face
many such situations in life.
He teased me first for not having parents.
Yes, he was wrong.
But its true your dad isnt coming back.
We cant contact your runaway mom either.
But that doesnt mean
you should be down or angry.
Control him with your eyes
before raising your hand, okay?
So he never dares to say it again.
What did you say?
Hey, you have your uncle and grandma.
No need to be ashamed.
Sometimes parents can a burden...
Think of it as a stroke of luck
and hold your head high.
Got it?
Hello?
Yes, hi.
Do you have ointment
for kids wounds?
The kind that helps new skin grow,
and also band-aid.
I told you, Im not hurt.
If you keep saying that,
your dad will worry.
Hes not my dad. Hes my uncle.
I dont have parents.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
Its a stroke of luck.
Thanks. Bye.
Son! I told you not to run suddenly.
Its bad for your lungs. Are you okay?
Its Youngwoo Kim.
Hello.
Im going to a musical with my mom.
Wow, sounds fun. Which musical?
What was it again?
Shinyu... House?
Youngwoo Kim, come here.
Are you still hanging with her?
I told you not to.
That church is known for being a cult.
Huh? Hyung Seok?
How long were you standing there?
Everyone here?
Lets start the redevelopment
committee and neighborhood meeting.
Recently, realtors are trying to get us
to sell our homes, right?
Mr. Juhyun Choi, a realtor.
A trainee, a trainee.
He says he is a trainee realtor.
Anyway, he says this is a positive sign
for redevelopment,
so dont sign any deals, just hold out.
So, when will the redevelopment happen?
Is it really happening?
If we knew that, would we be here?
Does anyone here go to
the basement at night?
Its so noisy at night, its hard to sleep.
Why would anyone go there at night?
Right. Maybe a stray cat.
People have been feeding cats lately.
Has it started?
Pastor, this way.
Hi.
Hi.
This is Pastor Moon Soo Jung
from my church.
He has kindly come to share
some inspiring words with you.
Pastor, please share your message.
I have the words of life
for the Wonjung Villa congregation.
Sorry, but did you inform us in advance?
Sorry?
I mean, was this arranged beforehand?
We have a residents and
a redevelopment committee meeting now
Was anyone notified about this?
No.
Remember, we agreed not to have
unannounced events?
Like when 403 tried to hold
a multi-level marketing meeting,
we made a rule against this.
Especially for religious issues,
we should be more careful.
Right.
Can we maybe listen to him another time?
Right.
Pastor, we will invite you again
next time. Sorry.
- What was that?
- Dont bring those Jesus freaks!
Mom, its a cult Never listen to them.
Hi.
Yesterday was abrupt and
uncomfortable, right?
It was impolite of me.
Next time, Ill make sure to consult with you.
No need to consult just with me.
Discuss it with everyone present.
It was a mistake. Im so sorry.
Sure.
When did you start going to that church?
Its not been long.
How did you start?
Well,
Its like God called me.
Theres a Bible verse:
I have called you by name.
Why?
Sorry.
Its just you seem different lately.
Really?
I feel overwhelmed.
Feeling the Lords presence
makes me grateful for everything.
I see.
But seriously, take care of yourself.
No! You cant go! No! You cant go!
Let go! Are you crazy?
You cant go! No way!
Think praying will cure the kid?
Let go! You cant go! No way!
You shouldnt neglect yourself
while taking care of others.
Yes, right.
I think so, too.
Thats why Im doing this.
This neighborhood has good commercial areas
and the view is nice.
Hi, Realtor Kim.
Oh, you came at the right time.
The pharmacist across the street.
This guy made a big contribution to
the redevelopment committee of the neighborhood.
Are you looking for a place
in this neighborhood?
Yes. My work is too far.
I want to invest.
You made a good choice.
Even if they say the prices wont go up,
it already has by 100 million each.
Right. It will go up more.
The commercial area wil revive also.
The air is good and the people are nice.
Are the villa people here like that too?
Mom?
Where did the old woman go?
A very famous teacher is coming this time.
Hes not just anyone;
hes has the gift of healing.
How many times do I have to say
I dont go to church! So annoying!
Oh, its hot.
Can I have a glass of water?
Come in then.
This is the real estate manager
who goes to our church.
Jaehyun, job hunting is hard, right?
Ill listen for a bit.
Hes the HR manager there.
Really?
Of course.
The deacon has the gift of
connecting with spirits.
You will be able to talk to
your late wife soon.
Are they out of their minds?
Excuse me!
Yes, the pastor is blessing the redevelopment.
What? What do you mean?
Its like a shaman ritual.
I didnt call you because
you seem uncomfortable with it.
It will be over soon,
so bear with it a little, okay?
Wait!
What are you doing there?
I followed my dad.
Did the lady from 303 come to
your place too?
Mom, did someone from that church come?
Which church?
Did the lady upstairs who goes to
that church come by or contact you?
No. The lady from 305 said
she started going to church last week.
Mom, I told you its a cult.
If someone comes by, never open the door
and never take any calls.
Talk to me first.
Yeah. Youre right about everything.
Oh, Im so tired.
Everyone from this building is gathering upstairs
for a prayer meeting, its crazy...
Hi little people! Today, well find out
about the Open Sky Gate church.
They make an effort to maintain
a good image as cults go.
You could say theyre like
the Gucci of the cult world.
But as we know,
they're a hardcore cult
Once someone joins, theres no news of them.
We dont even know if they're dead or alive.
Juhyun?
Im sorry.
I needed to check something.
No problem. Have a moment?
Yes.
I ordered lunch,
but it seems delivery is taking a while.
Sorry but can you pick it up
and bring it to my office?
Yes, sir.
Bring some business our way, please.
Sure.
Please use your influence.
I heard rumors that
youve met with another bank, too.
You must be hungry.
It looks good.
Oh, no!
I accidentally ordered
three lunch boxes.
What should I do?
I cant just throw it away.
This guy can have it.
Really?
Juhyun, you havent eaten, right?
Sit down and eat.
Oh, no, I couldnt.
Say hello. Hes the head of
the new town development project union.
Hello, sir.
Nice to meet you.
Hes preparing to be a certified realtor
and is interested in local urban development.
Im just learning. Its an honor, sir.
If he wasnt taking the realtor exam,
I would have kept him on
as a valuable employee.
By the way, sir,
any news about Zone 3?
Zone 3?
Its redevelopment,
so maybe another 10 years?
The area has business potential
and many people are moving in.
This guys quite proactive.
But looking at your face,
youve been through a lot.
No one understands you
and inside youre falling apart.
If the redevelopment happens,
I dream of moving to a better place
and improving my life.
Such a miracle will surely happen.
Would you like to hear the words
that reveal the truth of life?
Uncle, Komi is missing.
What?
Disappeared from the basement
and never came back.
You went to there again?
I told you not to.
Huh? Look!
Theres nothing.
Lets go in. Please.
No, we decided to lock the door at the meeting,
so we need permission to go in.
I said Ill do it. No need to push.
Are you going out?
Yes, to a church service.
A service?
Is that everyone?
Welcome, this way.
I thought the car looked familiar.
You should have told me
you were coming.
I forgot about unit 203.
No, its not that.
I was just passing and it was so noisy.
I stopped to look.
So this is the church you attend.
There are so many people.
Not that many yet.
Do you want to come to the service?
Oh no. I cant stand crowded places.
Ill be going now. Bye.
Where did you get the money?
Did you win money gambling?
No, its not gambling money.
Its not much,
but I want to repay at least some of it.
Ive really changed this time.
No, its not that I changed,
but I was changed. Thanks to the teacher.
Who is this teacher?
What brings you here?
Im looking for a place,
and I wanted to check out the area
Really?
I dont think
there are any places available here.
Isnt this Ilwol Villa?
This is Wonjung Villa.
Ilwol is one block over.
I see. Thanks.
Wait.
If you decide to move, please come here.
Juhyun
Long time no see.
Have you been well?
Yeah, Ive been well.
You said you want to atone?
Go ahead and atone.
Listen to me.
Atonement is something only humans can do.
You dont have the right to atone.
He wanted to see us, so I let him in.
Im sorry.
I did some wrong things
that can only be repaid through death.
Then you should be dead now.
Why are you still alive?
Why are you still alive?
Should I kill you myself?
Get out now! Get out!
You have such clear eyes.
Sorry?
No, thanks.
No?
What brings you here?
I came to check out the atmosphere.
At this time?
Yes, I look at houses at night.
You could say I see things that others cant.
Why did you go to that church?
Did you see me?
Do you know anything about that church?
Sort of?
Why?
No reason.
Why?
Im off. See you, maybe.
Sure you dont need me to come with you?
Its not the college entrance exam.
Ill be fine.
Good luck.
Welcome.
Come on in.
Juhyun, lets eat.
How about a game of table tennis
after dinner?
Yes, okay!
What a lovely family.
What do you believe in?
Excuse me?
Believe. You must believe.
Believe. Believe!
You must believe! Believe!
You must believe!
Uncle, what are you doing?
Where did grandma go, Yeji?
She said shes going to pray in the mountains.
Im coming with you.
I said Id be back soon.
Its scary being home alone.
Then be a good girl.
Put on your seatbelt.
Hey, whats up with you?
I cant reach my dad.
Hello?
Is anyone there? Hello?
Uncle?
So we meet again...
Sorry to startle you.
Whats going on?
Just a moment.
You need help, right?
They call this place heaven.
A Buddhist temple used to be here.
After the blessing, doctors told me
the cancer cells were completely gone and
the old house I bought for 20 million won
increased to 1 billion. A miracle.
Mom, come out. Quickly.
Juhyun?
Grandma!
Yeji!
Can you see your dad, Hyungsuk?
I dont think hes here...
Really?
Drag doubters out of the fire and save them!
Hate even the clothes stained
by someones flesh.
Lets pray according to the teachings of
our merciful teacher.
Oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!
Grant us the strength
to fight Satan and demons,
and give us a new sanctuary.
Thank you for allowing us to forgive doubters.
Hyungseok, lets go.
Whats the hells wrong with you, mom?
Lord!
What are you doing?
What are you talking about?
How can you join those people?
Theyre not what you think.
Ive done nothing wrong.
Cults dont have labels on the door!
Are you saying everyone
in the villa is weird?
Mom, Im begging you.
Please just dont do anything!
Yeah,
Im always wrong
and you are always right!
What are you doing?
Why are you disturbing the holy service?
Quiet!
Shouldnt you apologize about
what you did yesterday?
What do you mean?
You dare lie to us?
You ruined the prayer meeting yesterday!
Why did you do that?
You cant force me to say anything.
You really are a psycho, right?
Speak up. you jerk!
Speak up!
Please, calm down.
I raised him wrong.
Im so sorry.
Hey! I said speak up!
Why did you do that!
Hi, can you tell me
what your business here is today?
Lets go out.
I want to see
the branch manager just once.
Lets step out and talk.
Let me see the branch manager
and Ill go.
Let me see him, please.
Just once, please!
Let go now!
You said Im not an employee any more.
Then, Im a customer, so let go!
Branch manager!
Im fired on the spot?
Fired for violating company regulations
by using the corporate card?
So? Anything wrong with that?
You asked me to do it, for fucks sake!
Hanseul!
Stop it! Let go!
This is wrong, right?
Hanseul! Hanseul!
You should have come to the Lord
when we asked.
Its my fault.
I shouldnt have pushed the flyers in.
Sit down for a moment?
Ive been tracking
the Gicheon Holy Spirit Church for 3 years.
The sect of the Gicheon Holy Spirit Church
is called Gaecheon Moon general assembly,
also known as the Open Heaven Gate.
They teach that believers who complete a certain level of
education and receive baptism will attain eternal life
when gathered in one place.
I know the basics.
Its known that they perform
secret ritual acts during the baptism ceremony.
Lord!
Seeing that your mother has already
attended the prayer meeting,
shes likely finished the education.
With the level of intimacy and
group formation thats developed,
it may not be easy for her to leave.
What if we move?
If we move far away?
No use.
Its spread widely across the country,
more than you think.
So even if you move,
they will follow you to the area.
Then what should we do?
Should I tell you according to the manual?
Or should I tell you the reality?
The reality.
I realized something while tracking them.
Find solid evidence and
expose their illegal activities
to collapse them from within.
But thats easier said than done.
Earlier, you said all this is because of you.
It may be so.
If you have a burden in your heart,
you should let it out, right?
Mom! Lets go!
Stop it. Juhyun.
What right do you have to call my name!
- Come quick!
- Juhyun.
What are you doing?
Im too scared to live like this.
Im leaving.
Mom, are you really going crazy?
Its Park Hyun-jung!
Hes changed.
Hes a different person now!
No, those eyes are the same!
Mom, youre being deceived!
Youre acting like your father from the past.
You scare me.
How can you say that to me?
After all Ive done to protect
this family and this house!
Grandma, dont go.
Dont leave me behind.
Now, now, Yeji.
Oh, what should I do?
Whos there?
Delivery.
I didnt order anything.
What is it?
My son has grown up so much.
He even knows
how to do things like this.
I worked so hard to protect our house.
Im not losing it to anyone.
Have you thought
about the suggestion I made?
Im not sure...
Theres not much time left.
Was there anyone among the residents
who moved away or was taken to the bank?
I believe.
Amen.
I pray in the name of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Our senior deacon Shin-hye Kwon,
filled with grace,
will make some announcements.
Everyone, the baptism ceremony
for you has been scheduled.
Another piece of good news!
Everyone in the villa are no longer tenants
but homeowners.
Brother Moo-shin Lee in Unit 205
completed the sales contract today.
Thank you, thank you!
Congratulations to everyone for becoming
the true owners of our church.
Wonjung Villa will miraculously
transform into a new sanctuary.
Send down the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Please save us from sin.
Thank you, God, thank you!
Its all turned out so well.
Thank you, God, Halleluja!
Have you been taking a video of us?
Let go!
Give it to me!
Let go!
Give it to me!
Open the bag! Now!
Please, come to your senses,
everyone! This is a lie!
How dare you say that?
But if my lie enhances Gods truthfulness
and increases his glory...
Then why am I judged like a sinner?
Do you really run the NEOTube channel?
Door to Door on NEOTube.
I know youre a subscriber.
Wait, so all this time,
Ive been watching what youve been making?
No need to think of it that way.
Im not alone.
I have a sponsor.
A sponsor?
Im the sponsor.
I didnt know he had the channel
when we first met.
It was a coincidence.
I decided to provide sources
for his channel and also be a sponsor.
My thoughts remain the same.
Well catch solid evidence
and blow this open.
Now, we really have to decide.
Can I trust you?
Maybe?
Youngwoo?
Why are you here at this time?
Uncle, my mom is
Youngwoo!
Where are you?
Come in first, Yeong-woo.
Youngwoo, whats going on?
Yeji, please.
What are we supposed to do?
Im sorry.
Did my Youngwoo come here
by any chance?
No! Get out right now!
No, I cant
Hes here.
Youngwoo, mommys here.
Get out!
No, let go!
Yeji, is Youngwoo here?
Hes not here, get out!
If you lie, youll go to hell!
Where is he?
Where is Youngwoo?
Are you out of your mid?
Youngwoo, mommys here.
Stop!
Juhyun Choi, Im arresting you
on suspicion of murder.
Well talk at the station.
Its not me. I didnt do it!
Mom!
Mom, its not me! Mom!
Mom!
Mr. Juhyun Choi!
Yes.
So, you were suspicious of Mr Hyunjung Park
and went to see him.
You just talked, but the church
organized the murder?
And this is the evidence?
Yeah, I thought something was strange.
Fuck! Stop calling!
Pastor, if I get my wife and son
to join the church,
youre giving me 10 million, right?
Brother, what are you saying?
Lets meet on Sunday and talk about it.
I have a home visit, so Im off.
The person who signed this contract
belongs to a cult.
I found out about the contract,
so they killed him.
You said someone else
went to his room after I left.
How can you be sure it was me?
Your fingerprints were found on his neck.
Its not plausible that the murder
was committed by a cult.
The church is the problem!
There are more victims.
Havent you investigated?
Listen,
in South Korea,
we have freedom of religion.
Are you saying people should be punished
for having a religion?
No, thats not it.
We will ask you to come in for questioning,
so keep in touch.
If you dont respond,
you may be re-indicted.
I got him!
Sister, do you think Juhyun wlll be okay?
I did as I was told,
but I feel uneasy about how I let him go.
Of course.
Juhyun has a wild side,
Think of it as intense training for him.
The greater the suffering,
the sweeter the fruit.
Are you okay?
Yes.
What happens now?
One final step to fully convert her
into a true follower.
I think of you as someone very special.
Youre just like my own mother.
Thats why I feel even more
attached to you.
You know the kids have a separate service.
Its our first time, so Im worried.
The baptism ceremony is like the offering
in the Old Testament.
A sacrifice is needed.
Why are you so startled?
Yeji, you always look so good.
Youll make a great bride of faith.
A sacrifice means a perfect one,
under seven years old.
Oh dear.
Where did uncle and grandma go?
Komi?
What?
Mom!
Yeji!
Youre doing good work.
Oh, Lord!
We want to make a sacrifice
in your name.
You!
Komis house?
No one can leave without my permission
until the baptism ceremony ends.
Where are we?
This is where Komi is.
Theres a way to the villa basement.
Only Hyungseok and I know about it.
Eternal life will also be
bestowed upon you, deacon,
once the baptism ceremony is over.
Amen.
Thank you for your hard work.
He is aware of your work.
You will reach the true heaven.
Will my Youngwoo get better?
Of course!
Lets all turn the residents
into true owners of this land.
What's going on? The lights are out!
I can't see!
Whats happening?
Pastor! Where are you?
Its restored!
Why are the lights acting up?
Lack of proper maintenance.
Whats going on?
It seems like someone
tampered with the wiring.
What?
Check again!
Pastor,
its gone.
Did you bring the seal?
Didnt you bring it?
You shouldnt have forgotten!
Ask Deacon Kwon about it.
There she is.
Deacon, may I go home to get the seal?
Really?
How about substituting it for now?
Cant I go home and get it?
Maybe I can make a call?
We told you You cant go out
before the end of the ceremony,
to keep our bodies clean.
Im worried because
Yeji being home alone.
Shes fine. I checked.
But still, I should...
Why are all the kids from this family
so annoying?
Lay your hands on the offering and atone.
Please atone for our sins.
Amen.
Sister, you cannot make atonement like that.
What is this?
Something seems strange.
Its an innocent young animal.
Dont miss this good opportunity, sister.
Sister, youre not ready yet.
Please make more efforts.
Next!
Please make atonement.
We send these pitiful young souls
to the Lord.
Please accept our sacrifice.
Cleanse our bodies by drinking
the blood of the innocent young sacrifice.
Lastly, enter the holy of holies
with the preparation I mentioned earlier.
Powerful blessing prayers for redevelopment
will be carried out on every household document.
Next!
Close your eyes, lay your hands
on the offering, and pray.
We offer this lamb, full of love and grace,
as a living sacrifice to God, the Father,
Please accept our sacrifice.
I told you to close your eyes.
Sister, this is between you and me, a secret.
What was in the wine you drank earlier?
Sister,
Wonjung Villa has become
one body under God.
Its time to show our unity
and dedication to the teacher.
This is the process of becoming
the true owner of this temple.
Yes, sister, you must be very surprised.
But that soul received the grace of martyrdom
for the evangelization of the villa.
I dont care how crazy you are
about religion, This is wrong.
Your son is like that and you dont even flinch,
whats wrong with you!
What are you saying?
Youngwoo! Oh, no! Youngwoo!
Dont come closer!
Ill burn it all down!
Dont come closer!
Its over now.
Dad.
Is this your doing?
I told you its about receiving grace.
You satanic bitch!
Grace?
Yes! Grace!
You still believe in that bullshit?
This isnt grace.
You were deceived.
This isnt grace!
Its grace! Grace!
Everyone, please calm down.
I cant breathe.
Whats happening?
Give us the household documents!
Give them back!
Juhyun?
Deacon Kwon, why are you doing this?
Deacon?
Deacon, no! Wait!
Pastor! Pastor!
How could you do this to me?
You said we could save Youngwoo.
I risked everything and for what?
Shin-hye Kwon!
Saying this wont change anything.
Youll only suffer more.
Thats right.
Deacon Kwon, calm down.
Especially in times like this,
we should rely more on the Lord.
Youngwoo will rise again like Jesus.
Dad, I cant do it.
Its scary,
all this talk about priests and brides.
Why cant you? How precious is this grace
that returns in an instant?
- Yujin, come on!
- I dont want to. Dad,
- This is receiving grace.
- Im scared, I dont want to!
Itll be okay. Come on.
No! No!
Trust your daddy! Believe me!
Its about receiving grace!
I dont want to!
- Listen to me. Just listen! Hey!
- No, I dont want to!
Yujin!
Have you ever...
Yujin?
Ever thought of me as your flesh and blood?
Deacon Kwon!
Help! Please! Push!
No, dont push! It wont open!
Someone, help!
Call 911!! No cell phone?
You ruined the prayer meeting yesterday!
Why did you do that?
Hurr up and open, asshole.
Shouldnt you apologize for
what you did yesterday?
Why are you harassing us? Why?
Uncle, Ill help.
We need to rescue them quickly.
Youngwoo.
Youngwoo.
They say with this,
you can be happy forever.
Its the household document to enter heaven.
Hold onto this tight.
The Lord is your keeper,
he is the shade at your right hand...
Jackpot, uncle!
We hit a million views in a week.
Ive exposed the shocking baptism of
the Church of Open Heaven.
Since that day,
I havent seen that pharmacist aunt.
No contact either.
Theyre here!
Oh my, we did it.
The redevelopment got approved!
I dont know
if I should celebrate or what...
How much profit should I make
on my residential right?
You must be tired.
Go and rest.
Have one.
Mom, give it to me.
Ill do it.
You eat it.
Fuck. Congratulations!
Why is she doing that?
Is she crazy?
How could you do this to me?
Juhyun, save me! Save me!
The bolt cutter over there!

This spot is taken.
What do you mean?
My husband always parks here.
Everyone knows its our spot.
I hadnt heard.
Was there such an agreement?
No, he always parks here.
Hes on his way.
Can you park elsewhere?
You see, my moms not well
Its not your designated spot.
Let me park here just once.
Where are you?
I got a spot. Hurry.
Yes, hurry.
What was that?
Okay, lets park elsewhere.
Well move.
Okay.
Need help, uncle?
No, wait. Ill make dinner.
Mom, wheres the soybean paste?
In the kimchi fridge.
Who are you?
Im an uncle from 203 downstairs.
Doesnt your mom tell you not to run?
Can you turn off the TV for a sec?
The immunotherapy or immune treatment is
a more viable option than drug therapy.
Youngwoo? Whats up?
Hi, the noise from here is too much, you see.
Really? That cant be.
Hes too weak to run.
My mom recently had surgery
and isnt feeling well. Please be careful.
Okay, Well be careful.
Please be careful.
Ive asked you several times.
I tell him, but he doesnt listen.
Boys, you know.
Neighbors should be more understanding.
Here you go.
Your mortgage cancellation request
is complete.
You can check the registration in a week.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
Now its truly your home,
not the banks.
Its just a tiny place
and its in my moms name.
Still, its not easy to pay off a loan
at a young age.
Youve worked hard.
To celebrate,
would you like to have a drink with me?
What?
Its a special day.
My treat...
Ah...
I have to pick up the kid.
Ah...
Hello.
Were offering free MBTI counseling.
Do you have a moment?
Yes.
Thanks.
Please check the relevant items.
Check here?
Yes.
You look worn out.
Honey, did you wait long?
What are you doing?
Lets go, Im hungry.
Sorry, were you startled?
That church is known for being a cult.
They use surveys and counseling
to get your number and approach you.
Be careful.
I see.
If you have time, perhaps we can
Wait a moment.
Hi. At the kindergarten?
She seems okay.
Im going to buy some medicine.
Yeji, let me see your face.
Im good.
Stay still.
Are you okay?
Dunno.
Yeji Choi! I told you that youll face
many such situations in life.
He teased me first for not having parents.
Yes, he was wrong.
But its true your dad isnt coming back.
We cant contact your runaway mom either.
But that doesnt mean
you should be down or angry.
Control him with your eyes
before raising your hand, okay?
So he never dares to say it again.
What did you say?
Hey, you have your uncle and grandma.
No need to be ashamed.
Sometimes parents can a burden...
Think of it as a stroke of luck
and hold your head high.
Got it?
Hello?
Yes, hi.
Do you have ointment
for kids wounds?
The kind that helps new skin grow,
and also band-aid.
I told you, Im not hurt.
If you keep saying that,
your dad will worry.
Hes not my dad. Hes my uncle.
I dont have parents.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
Its a stroke of luck.
Thanks. Bye.
Son! I told you not to run suddenly.
Its bad for your lungs. Are you okay?
Its Youngwoo Kim.
Hello.
Im going to a musical with my mom.
Wow, sounds fun. Which musical?
What was it again?
Shinyu... House?
Youngwoo Kim, come here.
Are you still hanging with her?
I told you not to.
That church is known for being a cult.
Huh? Hyung Seok?
How long were you standing there?
Everyone here?
Lets start the redevelopment
committee and neighborhood meeting.
Recently, realtors are trying to get us
to sell our homes, right?
Mr. Juhyun Choi, a realtor.
A trainee, a trainee.
He says he is a trainee realtor.
Anyway, he says this is a positive sign
for redevelopment,
so dont sign any deals, just hold out.
So, when will the redevelopment happen?
Is it really happening?
If we knew that, would we be here?
Does anyone here go to
the basement at night?
Its so noisy at night, its hard to sleep.
Why would anyone go there at night?
Right. Maybe a stray cat.
People have been feeding cats lately.
Has it started?
Pastor, this way.
Hi.
Hi.
This is Pastor Moon Soo Jung
from my church.
He has kindly come to share
some inspiring words with you.
Pastor, please share your message.
I have the words of life
for the Wonjung Villa congregation.
Sorry, but did you inform us in advance?
Sorry?
I mean, was this arranged beforehand?
We have a residents and
a redevelopment committee meeting now
Was anyone notified about this?
No.
Remember, we agreed not to have
unannounced events?
Like when 403 tried to hold
a multi-level marketing meeting,
we made a rule against this.
Especially for religious issues,
we should be more careful.
Right.
Can we maybe listen to him another time?
Right.
Pastor, we will invite you again
next time. Sorry.
- What was that?
- Dont bring those Jesus freaks!
Mom, its a cult Never listen to them.
Hi.
Yesterday was abrupt and
uncomfortable, right?
It was impolite of me.
Next time, Ill make sure to consult with you.
No need to consult just with me.
Discuss it with everyone present.
It was a mistake. Im so sorry.
Sure.
When did you start going to that church?
Its not been long.
How did you start?
Well,
Its like God called me.
Theres a Bible verse:
I have called you by name.
Why?
Sorry.
Its just you seem different lately.
Really?
I feel overwhelmed.
Feeling the Lords presence
makes me grateful for everything.
I see.
But seriously, take care of yourself.
No! You cant go! No! You cant go!
Let go! Are you crazy?
You cant go! No way!
Think praying will cure the kid?
Let go! You cant go! No way!
You shouldnt neglect yourself
while taking care of others.
Yes, right.
I think so, too.
Thats why Im doing this.
This neighborhood has good commercial areas
and the view is nice.
Hi, Realtor Kim.
Oh, you came at the right time.
The pharmacist across the street.
This guy made a big contribution to
the redevelopment committee of the neighborhood.
Are you looking for a place
in this neighborhood?
Yes. My work is too far.
I want to invest.
You made a good choice.
Even if they say the prices wont go up,
it already has by 100 million each.
Right. It will go up more.
The commercial area wil revive also.
The air is good and the people are nice.
Are the villa people here like that too?
Mom?
Where did the old woman go?
A very famous teacher is coming this time.
Hes not just anyone;
hes has the gift of healing.
How many times do I have to say
I dont go to church! So annoying!
Oh, its hot.
Can I have a glass of water?
Come in then.
This is the real estate manager
who goes to our church.
Jaehyun, job hunting is hard, right?
Ill listen for a bit.
Hes the HR manager there.
Really?
Of course.
The deacon has the gift of
connecting with spirits.
You will be able to talk to
your late wife soon.
Are they out of their minds?
Excuse me!
Yes, the pastor is blessing the redevelopment.
What? What do you mean?
Its like a shaman ritual.
I didnt call you because
you seem uncomfortable with it.
It will be over soon,
so bear with it a little, okay?
Wait!
What are you doing there?
I followed my dad.
Did the lady from 303 come to
your place too?
Mom, did someone from that church come?
Which church?
Did the lady upstairs who goes to
that church come by or contact you?
No. The lady from 305 said
she started going to church last week.
Mom, I told you its a cult.
If someone comes by, never open the door
and never take any calls.
Talk to me first.
Yeah. Youre right about everything.
Oh, Im so tired.
Everyone from this building is gathering upstairs
for a prayer meeting, its crazy...
Hi little people! Today, well find out
about the Open Sky Gate church.
They make an effort to maintain
a good image as cults go.
You could say theyre like
the Gucci of the cult world.
But as we know,
they're a hardcore cult
Once someone joins, theres no news of them.
We dont even know if they're dead or alive.
Juhyun?
Im sorry.
I needed to check something.
No problem. Have a moment?
Yes.
I ordered lunch,
but it seems delivery is taking a while.
Sorry but can you pick it up
and bring it to my office?
Yes, sir.
Bring some business our way, please.
Sure.
Please use your influence.
I heard rumors that
youve met with another bank, too.
You must be hungry.
It looks good.
Oh, no!
I accidentally ordered
three lunch boxes.
What should I do?
I cant just throw it away.
This guy can have it.
Really?
Juhyun, you havent eaten, right?
Sit down and eat.
Oh, no, I couldnt.
Say hello. Hes the head of
the new town development project union.
Hello, sir.
Nice to meet you.
Hes preparing to be a certified realtor
and is interested in local urban development.
Im just learning. Its an honor, sir.
If he wasnt taking the realtor exam,
I would have kept him on
as a valuable employee.
By the way, sir,
any news about Zone 3?
Zone 3?
Its redevelopment,
so maybe another 10 years?
The area has business potential
and many people are moving in.
This guys quite proactive.
But looking at your face,
youve been through a lot.
No one understands you
and inside youre falling apart.
If the redevelopment happens,
I dream of moving to a better place
and improving my life.
Such a miracle will surely happen.
Would you like to hear the words
that reveal the truth of life?
Uncle, Komi is missing.
What?
Disappeared from the basement
and never came back.
You went to there again?
I told you not to.
Huh? Look!
Theres nothing.
Lets go in. Please.
No, we decided to lock the door at the meeting,
so we need permission to go in.
I said Ill do it. No need to push.
Are you going out?
Yes, to a church service.
A service?
Is that everyone?
Welcome, this way.
I thought the car looked familiar.
You should have told me
you were coming.
I forgot about unit 203.
No, its not that.
I was just passing and it was so noisy.
I stopped to look.
So this is the church you attend.
There are so many people.
Not that many yet.
Do you want to come to the service?
Oh no. I cant stand crowded places.
Ill be going now. Bye.
Where did you get the money?
Did you win money gambling?
No, its not gambling money.
Its not much,
but I want to repay at least some of it.
Ive really changed this time.
No, its not that I changed,
but I was changed. Thanks to the teacher.
Who is this teacher?
What brings you here?
Im looking for a place,
and I wanted to check out the area
Really?
I dont think
there are any places available here.
Isnt this Ilwol Villa?
This is Wonjung Villa.
Ilwol is one block over.
I see. Thanks.
Wait.
If you decide to move, please come here.
Juhyun
Long time no see.
Have you been well?
Yeah, Ive been well.
You said you want to atone?
Go ahead and atone.
Listen to me.
Atonement is something only humans can do.
You dont have the right to atone.
He wanted to see us, so I let him in.
Im sorry.
I did some wrong things
that can only be repaid through death.
Then you should be dead now.
Why are you still alive?
Why are you still alive?
Should I kill you myself?
Get out now! Get out!
You have such clear eyes.
Sorry?
No, thanks.
No?
What brings you here?
I came to check out the atmosphere.
At this time?
Yes, I look at houses at night.
You could say I see things that others cant.
Why did you go to that church?
Did you see me?
Do you know anything about that church?
Sort of?
Why?
No reason.
Why?
Im off. See you, maybe.
Sure you dont need me to come with you?
Its not the college entrance exam.
Ill be fine.
Good luck.
Welcome.
Come on in.
Juhyun, lets eat.
How about a game of table tennis
after dinner?
Yes, okay!
What a lovely family.
What do you believe in?
Excuse me?
Believe. You must believe.
Believe. Believe!
You must believe! Believe!
You must believe!
Uncle, what are you doing?
Where did grandma go, Yeji?
She said shes going to pray in the mountains.
Im coming with you.
I said Id be back soon.
Its scary being home alone.
Then be a good girl.
Put on your seatbelt.
Hey, whats up with you?
I cant reach my dad.
Hello?
Is anyone there? Hello?
Uncle?
So we meet again...
Sorry to startle you.
Whats going on?
Just a moment.
You need help, right?
They call this place heaven.
A Buddhist temple used to be here.
After the blessing, doctors told me
the cancer cells were completely gone and
the old house I bought for 20 million won
increased to 1 billion. A miracle.
Mom, come out. Quickly.
Juhyun?
Grandma!
Yeji!
Can you see your dad, Hyungsuk?
I dont think hes here...
Really?
Drag doubters out of the fire and save them!
Hate even the clothes stained
by someones flesh.
Lets pray according to the teachings of
our merciful teacher.
Oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!
Grant us the strength
to fight Satan and demons,
and give us a new sanctuary.
Thank you for allowing us to forgive doubters.
Hyungseok, lets go.
Whats the hells wrong with you, mom?
Lord!
What are you doing?
What are you talking about?
How can you join those people?
Theyre not what you think.
Ive done nothing wrong.
Cults dont have labels on the door!
Are you saying everyone
in the villa is weird?
Mom, Im begging you.
Please just dont do anything!
Yeah,
Im always wrong
and you are always right!
What are you doing?
Why are you disturbing the holy service?
Quiet!
Shouldnt you apologize about
what you did yesterday?
What do you mean?
You dare lie to us?
You ruined the prayer meeting yesterday!
Why did you do that?
You cant force me to say anything.
You really are a psycho, right?
Speak up. you jerk!
Speak up!
Please, calm down.
I raised him wrong.
Im so sorry.
Hey! I said speak up!
Why did you do that!
Hi, can you tell me
what your business here is today?
Lets go out.
I want to see
the branch manager just once.
Lets step out and talk.
Let me see the branch manager
and Ill go.
Let me see him, please.
Just once, please!
Let go now!
You said Im not an employee any more.
Then, Im a customer, so let go!
Branch manager!
Im fired on the spot?
Fired for violating company regulations
by using the corporate card?
So? Anything wrong with that?
You asked me to do it, for fucks sake!
Hanseul!
Stop it! Let go!
This is wrong, right?
Hanseul! Hanseul!
You should have come to the Lord
when we asked.
Its my fault.
I shouldnt have pushed the flyers in.
Sit down for a moment?
Ive been tracking
the Gicheon Holy Spirit Church for 3 years.
The sect of the Gicheon Holy Spirit Church
is called Gaecheon Moon general assembly,
also known as the Open Heaven Gate.
They teach that believers who complete a certain level of
education and receive baptism will attain eternal life
when gathered in one place.
I know the basics.
Its known that they perform
secret ritual acts during the baptism ceremony.
Lord!
Seeing that your mother has already
attended the prayer meeting,
shes likely finished the education.
With the level of intimacy and
group formation thats developed,
it may not be easy for her to leave.
What if we move?
If we move far away?
No use.
Its spread widely across the country,
more than you think.
So even if you move,
they will follow you to the area.
Then what should we do?
Should I tell you according to the manual?
Or should I tell you the reality?
The reality.
I realized something while tracking them.
Find solid evidence and
expose their illegal activities
to collapse them from within.
But thats easier said than done.
Earlier, you said all this is because of you.
It may be so.
If you have a burden in your heart,
you should let it out, right?
Mom! Lets go!
Stop it. Juhyun.
What right do you have to call my name!
- Come quick!
- Juhyun.
What are you doing?
Im too scared to live like this.
Im leaving.
Mom, are you really going crazy?
Its Park Hyun-jung!
Hes changed.
Hes a different person now!
No, those eyes are the same!
Mom, youre being deceived!
Youre acting like your father from the past.
You scare me.
How can you say that to me?
After all Ive done to protect
this family and this house!
Grandma, dont go.
Dont leave me behind.
Now, now, Yeji.
Oh, what should I do?
Whos there?
Delivery.
I didnt order anything.
What is it?
My son has grown up so much.
He even knows
how to do things like this.
I worked so hard to protect our house.
Im not losing it to anyone.
Have you thought
about the suggestion I made?
Im not sure...
Theres not much time left.
Was there anyone among the residents
who moved away or was taken to the bank?
I believe.
Amen.
I pray in the name of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Our senior deacon Shin-hye Kwon,
filled with grace,
will make some announcements.
Everyone, the baptism ceremony
for you has been scheduled.
Another piece of good news!
Everyone in the villa are no longer tenants
but homeowners.
Brother Moo-shin Lee in Unit 205
completed the sales contract today.
Thank you, thank you!
Congratulations to everyone for becoming
the true owners of our church.
Wonjung Villa will miraculously
transform into a new sanctuary.
Send down the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Please save us from sin.
Thank you, God, thank you!
Its all turned out so well.
Thank you, God, Halleluja!
Have you been taking a video of us?
Let go!
Give it to me!
Let go!
Give it to me!
Open the bag! Now!
Please, come to your senses,
everyone! This is a lie!
How dare you say that?
But if my lie enhances Gods truthfulness
and increases his glory...
Then why am I judged like a sinner?
Do you really run the NEOTube channel?
Door to Door on NEOTube.
I know youre a subscriber.
Wait, so all this time,
Ive been watching what youve been making?
No need to think of it that way.
Im not alone.
I have a sponsor.
A sponsor?
Im the sponsor.
I didnt know he had the channel
when we first met.
It was a coincidence.
I decided to provide sources
for his channel and also be a sponsor.
My thoughts remain the same.
Well catch solid evidence
and blow this open.
Now, we really have to decide.
Can I trust you?
Maybe?
Youngwoo?
Why are you here at this time?
Uncle, my mom is
Youngwoo!
Where are you?
Come in first, Yeong-woo.
Youngwoo, whats going on?
Yeji, please.
What are we supposed to do?
Im sorry.
Did my Youngwoo come here
by any chance?
No! Get out right now!
No, I cant
Hes here.
Youngwoo, mommys here.
Get out!
No, let go!
Yeji, is Youngwoo here?
Hes not here, get out!
If you lie, youll go to hell!
Where is he?
Where is Youngwoo?
Are you out of your mid?
Youngwoo, mommys here.
Stop!
Juhyun Choi, Im arresting you
on suspicion of murder.
Well talk at the station.
Its not me. I didnt do it!
Mom!
Mom, its not me! Mom!
Mom!
Mr. Juhyun Choi!
Yes.
So, you were suspicious of Mr Hyunjung Park
and went to see him.
You just talked, but the church
organized the murder?
And this is the evidence?
Yeah, I thought something was strange.
Fuck! Stop calling!
Pastor, if I get my wife and son
to join the church,
youre giving me 10 million, right?
Brother, what are you saying?
Lets meet on Sunday and talk about it.
I have a home visit, so Im off.
The person who signed this contract
belongs to a cult.
I found out about the contract,
so they killed him.
You said someone else
went to his room after I left.
How can you be sure it was me?
Your fingerprints were found on his neck.
Its not plausible that the murder
was committed by a cult.
The church is the problem!
There are more victims.
Havent you investigated?
Listen,
in South Korea,
we have freedom of religion.
Are you saying people should be punished
for having a religion?
No, thats not it.
We will ask you to come in for questioning,
so keep in touch.
If you dont respond,
you may be re-indicted.
I got him!
Sister, do you think Juhyun wlll be okay?
I did as I was told,
but I feel uneasy about how I let him go.
Of course.
Juhyun has a wild side,
Think of it as intense training for him.
The greater the suffering,
the sweeter the fruit.
Are you okay?
Yes.
What happens now?
One final step to fully convert her
into a true follower.
I think of you as someone very special.
Youre just like my own mother.
Thats why I feel even more
attached to you.
You know the kids have a separate service.
Its our first time, so Im worried.
The baptism ceremony is like the offering
in the Old Testament.
A sacrifice is needed.
Why are you so startled?
Yeji, you always look so good.
Youll make a great bride of faith.
A sacrifice means a perfect one,
under seven years old.
Oh dear.
Where did uncle and grandma go?
Komi?
What?
Mom!
Yeji!
Youre doing good work.
Oh, Lord!
We want to make a sacrifice
in your name.
You!
Komis house?
No one can leave without my permission
until the baptism ceremony ends.
Where are we?
This is where Komi is.
Theres a way to the villa basement.
Only Hyungseok and I know about it.
Eternal life will also be
bestowed upon you, deacon,
once the baptism ceremony is over.
Amen.
Thank you for your hard work.
He is aware of your work.
You will reach the true heaven.
Will my Youngwoo get better?
Of course!
Lets all turn the residents
into true owners of this land.
What's going on? The lights are out!
I can't see!
Whats happening?
Pastor! Where are you?
Its restored!
Why are the lights acting up?
Lack of proper maintenance.
Whats going on?
It seems like someone
tampered with the wiring.
What?
Check again!
Pastor,
its gone.
Did you bring the seal?
Didnt you bring it?
You shouldnt have forgotten!
Ask Deacon Kwon about it.
There she is.
Deacon, may I go home to get the seal?
Really?
How about substituting it for now?
Cant I go home and get it?
Maybe I can make a call?
We told you You cant go out
before the end of the ceremony,
to keep our bodies clean.
Im worried because
Yeji being home alone.
Shes fine. I checked.
But still, I should...
Why are all the kids from this family
so annoying?
Lay your hands on the offering and atone.
Please atone for our sins.
Amen.
Sister, you cannot make atonement like that.
What is this?
Something seems strange.
Its an innocent young animal.
Dont miss this good opportunity, sister.
Sister, youre not ready yet.
Please make more efforts.
Next!
Please make atonement.
We send these pitiful young souls
to the Lord.
Please accept our sacrifice.
Cleanse our bodies by drinking
the blood of the innocent young sacrifice.
Lastly, enter the holy of holies
with the preparation I mentioned earlier.
Powerful blessing prayers for redevelopment
will be carried out on every household document.
Next!
Close your eyes, lay your hands
on the offering, and pray.
We offer this lamb, full of love and grace,
as a living sacrifice to God, the Father,
Please accept our sacrifice.
I told you to close your eyes.
Sister, this is between you and me, a secret.
What was in the wine you drank earlier?
Sister,
Wonjung Villa has become
one body under God.
Its time to show our unity
and dedication to the teacher.
This is the process of becoming
the true owner of this temple.
Yes, sister, you must be very surprised.
But that soul received the grace of martyrdom
for the evangelization of the villa.
I dont care how crazy you are
about religion, This is wrong.
Your son is like that and you dont even flinch,
whats wrong with you!
What are you saying?
Youngwoo! Oh, no! Youngwoo!
Dont come closer!
Ill burn it all down!
Dont come closer!
Its over now.
Dad.
Is this your doing?
I told you its about receiving grace.
You satanic bitch!
Grace?
Yes! Grace!
You still believe in that bullshit?
This isnt grace.
You were deceived.
This isnt grace!
Its grace! Grace!
Everyone, please calm down.
I cant breathe.
Whats happening?
Give us the household documents!
Give them back!
Juhyun?
Deacon Kwon, why are you doing this?
Deacon?
Deacon, no! Wait!
Pastor! Pastor!
How could you do this to me?
You said we could save Youngwoo.
I risked everything and for what?
Shin-hye Kwon!
Saying this wont change anything.
Youll only suffer more.
Thats right.
Deacon Kwon, calm down.
Especially in times like this,
we should rely more on the Lord.
Youngwoo will rise again like Jesus.
Dad, I cant do it.
Its scary,
all this talk about priests and brides.
Why cant you? How precious is this grace
that returns in an instant?
- Yujin, come on!
- I dont want to. Dad,
- This is receiving grace.
- Im scared, I dont want to!
Itll be okay. Come on.
No! No!
Trust your daddy! Believe me!
Its about receiving grace!
I dont want to!
- Listen to me. Just listen! Hey!
- No, I dont want to!
Yujin!
Have you ever...
Yujin?
Ever thought of me as your flesh and blood?
Deacon Kwon!
Help! Please! Push!
No, dont push! It wont open!
Someone, help!
Call 911!! No cell phone?
You ruined the prayer meeting yesterday!
Why did you do that?
Hurr up and open, asshole.
Shouldnt you apologize for
what you did yesterday?
Why are you harassing us? Why?
Uncle, Ill help.
We need to rescue them quickly.
Youngwoo.
Youngwoo.
They say with this,
you can be happy forever.
Its the household document to enter heaven.
Hold onto this tight.
The Lord is your keeper,
he is the shade at your right hand...
Jackpot, uncle!
We hit a million views in a week.
Ive exposed the shocking baptism of
the Church of Open Heaven.
Since that day,
I havent seen that pharmacist aunt.
No contact either.
Theyre here!
Oh my, we did it.
The redevelopment got approved!
I dont know
if I should celebrate or what...
How much profit should I make
on my residential right?
You must be tired.
Go and rest.
Have one.
Mom, give it to me.
Ill do it.
You eat it.
Fuck. Congratulations!
